| 520 | |a ObjectivesResearch in criminology and criminal justice is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary, international network of intersecting research topics. Quantifying the substantive content of criminology allows us to empirically disentangle this network and analyze how the interplay of research topic and international context influences knowledge production in the study of crime.MethodsIn this paper we apply the topic embedding model, top2vec, mapping two decades of research in criminology and criminal justice (2001-2020). Using data generated by top2vec we enrich coauthorship network data—introducing themes and subdisciplines, and topical similarity measures—and analyze the relationship between topical and subdisciplinary overlap, geospatial distance, and publication coauthorship in a sample of mid-career researchers (N = 4068).ResultsWe find that these researchers disproportionately favor collaboration within their immediate network of collaborators and subdiscipline of criminology, but tend to establish new, synergistic collaborations with topically adjacent researchers. New collaborations appear to be independent of geographic distance, but US criminologists are less likely to collaborate internationally than Eurasian and Oceanic criminologists.ConclusionsFacilitating communication between researchers and organizations from adjacent subdisciplines could benefit researchers and produce new, innovative research. Encouraging comparative research would help international scholars, many of whom may rely on US collaborators, benefit more from US scholarship. Further applications for top2vec in the scientometric study of criminology, criminal justice, and legal studies are discussed. | ||
